8 Gulf Daily News Monday, 22nd July 2013Breakthroughon Palestine?Dr James J ZogbyPresident, Arab American InstituteTwo events jolted the Israeli-Palestinianarena this past week.Secretary of State John Kerry announcedthat, after a three-year hiatus, Israeli andPalestinian negotiators would once again meet tobegin peace talks and the European Commissionannounced guidelines that would ban Europeanassistance to Israeli enterprises, institutions orindividuals operating from occupied Palestinianterritories.There are those who see the two effortsat cross purposes with one another. TheIsraelis denounced the European stance as“interference”, while the US termed the Europeanaction “unhelpful”.In fact, it is quite helpful and can provide auseful assist to negotiations.It took Kerry six visits to the Middle East tosecure the agreement of Palestinian AuthorityPresident Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli PrimeMinister Benjamin Netanyahu to begin directtalks.Details of Kerry’s strategy have not yet beenmade public, but Press reports indicate that heused a combination of incentives and a bit ofcreative ambiguity.The centrepiece of his approach appears toinvolve a statement that he will issue detailingAmerica’s “terms of reference” for negotiations.It will apparently be clear that this is the USposition and will allow for the parties to raiseobjections.Handling the “terms of reference” in thismanner will provide Palestinians the opportunityto agree with US insistence that the negotiationsshould be based on the 1967 borders withallowances for “land swaps”, while the Israeliscan claim that they are not bound by theseterms. Additionally, the Israelis will latch ontoUS acceptance of the view that the outcomeof the negotiations should include Palestinianrecognition of Israel as a Jewish state, whileallowing the Palestinians to insist that they havenot so agreed.It took two years and 11 rounds of failednegotiations before frustrated Israeli andPalestinian negotiators, on their own and inprivate, produced the Oslo Accords — which wasitself an exercise in creative ambiguity.Then the Israelis and Palestinians fudged ordelayed action on most of the critical issues thatdivided them.They did agree to recognise each other, butIsraelis have now upped the ante by demandingto be recognised as a “Jewish state” and mostmembers of the current Israeli governmentrefuse to acknowledge the right of Palestiniansto a state of their own.Much the same problems exist on thePalestinian side.The problem with creative ambiguity isthat while it may get you to “go”, it doesn’tnecessarily get you past “go”.Here is where the European Commission’sdecision can be extraordinarily helpful. Byreminding the Israelis that their settlemententerprise is illegal and not recognised by theinternational community, they provide importantbalance to the negotiating effort.Since the occupation of the territories in1967, Israel has disregarded international lawand conventions that specifically prohibit theacquisition of property and settlement of peopleby the occupying power on lands seized duringwar.US objections to Israel’s settlementpolicy have been frustrated and then mutedby domestic pressures. As a result, Israelhas ignored US appeals to end settlementconstruction.Despite the US acknowledgement thatnegotiations would be based on the 1967 bordersallowing for “land swaps” (implicitly giving theIsraelis the opportunity to keep many of theirsettlements), the Israelis reject even that formula.As demonstrated by the reaction of USCongress when President Obama articulatedthe same position two years ago, it is difficultto imagine how the Palestinians could have theconfidence to proceed.Hence the importance of the Europeanposition, which gives the Palestinians a sensethat the scales are now balanced and they nowhave someone supporting them.Causeway nightmareSir,Over the past few months the GDNhas been inundated with articlesabout miseries on the King FahadCauseway.The situation now is way beyond anightmare, but the alarm bells startedringing months ago.I keep thinking about those poordrivers who have to wait next to theirtrucks for up to a week without properfood or amenities.It’s a shame no practical solution hasbeen found so far.With the growth in numbers over theyears, the authorities must look at developingin terms of technology.In Europe, border crossings havehuge scanners installed where scanningand clearing of loaded trucksbarely takes a few minutes to process.Why can’t we have something similarhere? I am very sure the authoritieshave the money to procure such technology.With businesses affected and unemploymentcreeping in, there is noreason to sit back and wait for things toresolve themselves. Action is needed.As a regular commuter betweenSaudi Arabia and Bahrain, the other issuewe face is the use of our passports.A single return trip means fourstamps in the passport. Five trips aweek is 20 stamps and 20 trips in amonth is 80 stamps!Before we know it, there are no pagesleft in the passport.I was told by an officer to get a stampPublished letters arenot necessarily theviews of the Editor.Readers wishing tomake a complaintthrough the GDNshould provide full detailsof the complainttogether with theircontact telephonenumbers.booklet to savepages in my passport.He directed me to theBahrain causeway immigrationoffice, whichnever seems to haveany booklets in stock.I was then sent tothe passport office inManama, which in turntold me to go back tothe causeway immigration for the bookletsince I was supposed to travel via the causeway.No prizes for guessing that when I wentto the causeway again, they asked me to goback to the passport office.After a week of being a pinball betweenthese offices, I managed to get the booklet –which I treat like precious treasure!Obtaining new passports is a problematictask for many nationalities here.TODAY is Monday, July 22 the 203rd dayof 2013.

No civilised Bahraini islikely to subscribe to this type of ideology.Therefore, former supporters have gotevery reason to disown opposition groups.Possibly one of the most important factorsin the decline of opposition popularityis their ability to orchestrate confrontationwith the security forces on the pretext of“peaceful” demonstrations.Staged protests more often than not culminatein the throwing of Molotov cocktailsat security forces.The planting of homemade explosives, allegedlyorganised by the February 14 movement,and subsequent security operationsin troubled areas may also have annoyedresidents and resulted in them withdrawingsupport for opposition groups.Deluded youths’ continued confrontationswith security forces has disrupted normal life.Businesseshave closedor moved toother areas, whiletransportationto and from thevillages has becomedifficult.Apart froma handful of core supporters, most of theyouths who take part in the street protestsare coerced into taking part.Their parents find it difficult to keep theirchildren away from the street protests. Mostparents send their children to visit families inother “safe” locations.Students are advised to boycott schoolsand join protests, while hardcore supporterscontinue to firebomb schools in an effort todiscourage students from attending class.The Education Ministry has reported 201schools affected by such attacks during theprevious academic year and the number isexpected to increase, given the current escalationof violence in many places.Last week the home of MP Abbas Al Madicame under Molotov cocktail attack, whichdamaged part of the main entrance of thehouse.This attack was not the first of its kind. Acouple of MPs have had their homes firebombed– which is anti-democratic by anymeasure!!!However, a new development in the ongoingviolence came last week when a carexplosion took place at a mosque parking lotwhile believers were praying inside.This shows a new phase in the terrorists’tactics with far reaching strategic aims to stirsectarian conflict, but nobody is willing tofall into this trap except those who triggeredthe bomb.This must be quelled before it is too late.Security should be stepped up everywhereand the culprits should face justice.There cannot be any excuses this time.The public must be made aware of theconsequences of such acts and local peopleshould be allowed to play their part in securingtheir neighbourhoods.Abu MohammedWhere was security?On Friday, the GDN reported a sabotageattack that destroyed a building belongingto Marina West Real Estate in Budaiya.Were there no Marina West securitypersonnel deployedat thesite to safeguardbuilding workfunded, by mycalculations, withBD49 million ofoff-plan apartmentbuyers’payments?Surely someone should have realised thatthe Marina West project is merely a stone’sthrow across the highway from Bani Jamra,literally.This is not only about 11 partially builttowers we have also funded.The building destroyed was the MarinaWest on-site sales office, which could containconfidential client information or computerrecords that would be essential to auditors.There is also a functioning electricity supplystation on site. Does this not warrant 24/7permanent security?If the developers had invested the millionsthat homebuyers have done into the project,I bet the site would have been crawling witharmed security personnel around the clock.Perhaps they should try forming a sentencearound the four following words: “stabledoor” and “horse bolted”!A PTerrorists by name...It’s time to start callingthe terrorists in Bahrainwhat they are, insteadof using watered downnames like thugs andvandals.TareqThe Full Moon occurs later today in Aquarius, signallingthe changing of the order with the Sun, which makesthe transition from your sign to Leo.

Thisis still possible, but this year I do feel that there may besome kind of lag, or gap between two sets of differentcircumstances. And yet something you have not beenso focused on, perhaps linked to your past, could comeup trumps.Virgo August 24th - September 23rdVenus will join your sign tomorrow, but today she’sforging a really helpful link to the Sun. Friendships arecertainly emphasised and you may feel really chipperabout certain involvements. But life and astrology havea habit of knocking us back if we get too upbeat, toosoon. One person may seem genuine, but could yetdisappoint.Libra September 24th - October 23rdYou may be experiencing a sense of confidence andadded drive that you have not had for some while, andit can be a really uplifting feeling. 9/10th’s of successin life, comes from feeling positive, and the more youexude this vibe to others, the more good things canbounce back your way. Yet, might one friend be feelingslightly marginalised?Scorpio October 24th - November 22ndYou can find yourself wanting to push through boundariesthis week. This may see you want to travel further,run faster, learn something more testing, or break outof any dull rut that has been confining you for far toolong. The problem is that just as you really decide togo for it, some unexpected constraints can snap backinto place.Sagittarius November 23rd - December 21stYour ruler Jupiter really makes itself felt this week, notleast by its new found influence in the zodiac sign ofCancer, but also because spikey Mars is set to cruisealongside for much of the time. Okay, the conjunctionis not exact all the time, but close enough to give youextra devilment around business or property hopes.Plan well though.Capricorn December 22nd - January 20thYour ruler Saturn, it is fair to say, has something of amaligned reputation. But it is the influence which givesyou your grit, determination and sticking power. Andthis week, it is going to be in a really awesome link withMars and Jupiter. This suggests one individual can becomevery important to your future hopes. Soon you’llknow who.Aquarius January 21st - February 19thAdopt a “can do attitude”. Don’t lose heart if certain peopleseem incapable of praising you or even acknowledgingyour presence. Do you know, some people justaren’t good at this. And, the more you seek this fromthe wrong people, the more you’ll feel bereft. Instead,show just how hard working and dependable you canbe Aquarius.Pisces February 20th - March 20thSome of the things that really engage you this weekmay be of the fleeting, but certainly fun variety. However,it will be important to not overdo the good stuff,because the Full Moon is likely to have an instant impacton your vitality if you do, and you’ll go from full of beansto burnt out rather quickly. Yet, a longer term plan canfirm up brilliantly.Aries March 21st - April 20thAll this week your ruler Mars is going to retain a nicecontact with the planet of plenty, Jupiter. This may leadto a delightful family gathering or to the desire to improveor move on the home front. If you are generallya more sociable kind of Aries, the move of the Sun intoLeo will give you added impetus to entertain in yourown environs.Taurus April 21st - May 21stYour appetite for exchanges of ideas, writing downthoughts, publishing a blog or using technology can beimmense this week, as Mars and Jupiter travel closelytogether in your sector of everyday communications.You may also find yourself embracing on-line datingtoo. After the recent impasses that Mercury created, thiscan be welcome.Gemini May 22nd - June 21stThe Sun and Venus link brilliantly today, and can bringsome kind of bountifulness to bear. In fact, all throughthis week there can be abundances, but not necessarilythe ones you aspire to. Someone may be unexpectedlygenerous, and gift something, or you can be particularlybold in following your instincts around your resources.

Theysaid the blasts and a shootingin the same area as one of theexplosions killed 57, includingsome who died in the hospitalovernight. More than 125 werereported wounded.Those attacks and others aroundIraq on Saturday killed a totalof 71.

TheUAE has emerged as a leadingArab supporter of the militaryEgypt since Morsi was toppledearlier.The UAE’s TelecommunicationsAuthority said yesterday thatexperts blocked the attemptedhacking on Friday. It saidcomputer-tracking addresses ofthe alleged hackers were given toEgyptian officials.n Forces loyalto Assad firingrockets into Homsbargaining chips.Abu Musaab was seized by Kurdish fighterslate Saturday during clashes between the twosides. That prompted the Al Qaeda militants toarrest hundreds of Kurdish residents in retaliation.Kurdish rebels freed Abu Musaab yesterdayfollowing mediation for a cease-fire and anagreement that the militants would release 300civilian Kurds in exchange. The fighting subsidedyesterday.Kurds, the largest ethnic minority in Syria, makeup more than 10 per cent of the country’s 23 millionpeople. Their loyalties inthe conflict are split between thetwo sides.Kurdish gunmen have beenfighting to expel Al Qaedamilitants from the northeasternprovince of Hassakeh over thepast week. More than 60 fightershave been killed from both sides,according to activists.Infighting between Al Qaedamilitants and more mainstreamSyrian rebels, as well as betweenKurds and Arabs, has grownmore common in Syria in recentweeks – part of a power strugglethat is undermining their effortsto topple President Bashar AlAssad.The inter-rebel clashes arechipping away at the opposition’spopularity at a time whenthe Assad regime is making significantadvances on the ground.Moreover, in the suburbs ofDamascus, regime forces killedscores of rebels in an ambushyesterday.State-run news agency SANAdid not give a number but saidthe army in Adra “eliminated anumber of terrorist members ofJabhat Al Nusra trying to infiltrate”suburbs near the capitalwill make sure to live up to theexpectations,” Abe said after hewas projected to win based onexit polls and early results.Official results weren’texpected until early Monday.The victory also offers thehawkish Abe more leeway toadvance his conservative policygoals, including revising thecountry’s pacifist constitutionand bolstering Japan’s military,which could further strain tieswith key neighbours China andSouth Korea, who are embroiledin territorial disputes with Japan.Controlling both houses ofparliament has been an elusivegoal for Japanese governmentsin recent years. With a dividedparliament, it has been hard topass legislation, and voters fedup with the gridlock and highleadership turnover appearedwilling to opt for the perceivedsafety of the LDP, which hasruled Japan for most of the post-World War II era.Recovery“Now that we got rid of thetwisted parliament, the LDP isgoing to face a test of whetherwe can push forward the economicpolicies so that the peoplecan really feel the effect on theirlives,” Abe said.Japan’s stagnant economy isshowing signs of perking up,helped by the aggressive monetaryand fiscal stimuli that Abehas implemented since he tookoffice in late December.Stocks have surged, businessconfidence is improving and theweaker yen has put less pressureon vital exporters.But long-term growth willdepend on sweeping changesto boost competitiveness andhelp cope with Japan’s rapidlygraying population andsoaring national debt. Suchreforms, long overdue, arebound to prove difficult evenwith control of both chambers ofparliament.Abe also faces a decisionthis fall on whether to followthrough on raising the sales taxnext April from 5 per cent to8pc, a move needed to shore upJapan’s public finances, but onethat many worry will derail therecovery.

Gulf Daily News Monday, 22nd July 2013 25In association with www.tradearabia.comUK political parties barking up the wrong treeIget the impression that the unusuallyhot summer we are experiencing inthe UK is rather going to people’sheads.Take politics for example.We are not due to have another generalelection until May next year, yetwe seem already to be entering thebeginning of an election campaign.From the opposition side, Ed Milibandis trying to win the middle ground inBritish politics by announcing he isgoing to reassess the Labour Party’srelationship with trade unions.Labour’s relationship with the tradeunion movement has always been abit of a problem for the new generationof tribunes of the people.Now in recent decades there havebeen concerns by leading lights inthe party that in return for a lot ofmoney, trade unions have too muchsay in how the parliamentary wing ofthe movement is run.The problem for trade unions whenit comes to politics is that they aresomewhat short of embracing democraticidealsandoperateon a levelsomewherebetweenTammanyHall andRichardDaily’s Chicago.The issue came to the fore over theselection of a candidate to fightFalkirk West in the next election,which is a fascinating constituencyat the best of times with a long historyof electing Labour firebrandslike Dennis Canavan whom, when helost the Labour whip in the Scottishparliament, went on to stand as anindependent and beat Labour convincingly.The sitting MP, Eric Joyce, has decidedto stand down after having theLabour whip removed.Thankfully for Labour, he does not planto stand as an independent becausehe would almost certainly have tankedthe candidate the unions wanted andthe candidate who will now be selectedby Labour headquarters.Mr Joyce is a former army officer withan excellent military record whoused the skills he learned serving hiscountry to beat two Tory MPs to apulp in one of the bars in the Houseof Commons.As a former labour general secretaryof Falkirk’s other constituency, Iknow the electorate in this part ofthe world and I can assure you thepeople do not think taking on twoTories and landing them in hospitalin a barroom brawl is the kind actthat should lose you political credibilityor votes.But Labour is now about to turn itselfinside out over the issue whichcomes down to trade union influencein selection procedures.The Tories, on the other hand, are gettingwet under the collar about thefact that 14 health authorities seemto have a lot more people dying intheir hospitals than elsewhere in thecountry.The Prime Minister said he would notmake National Health Service issueinto a political football and then hishealth secretary stood up in theCommons and did just that.This could prove a bit of a sticky wicketfor the government in the longterm as, while Labour have to shouldersome of the blame, the Torieshave seen the death rates continueto rise in these health authoritiesunder their watch.But it is a sign that the two main partiesare already in election fevermode.Not to be outdone, the hapless LiberalDemocrats have also been nailingtheir flag to the mast to avoid politicalmeltdown in the face of the electorate.The Liberals were doing very nicelyuntil a few years ago when theydecided to bin their most successfulleader since Gladstone.Charles Kennedy had done a magnificentjob in rallying his troops untilthe powers in the party decided hisfondness for a dram or twelve disqualifiedhim for leadership.Why they expected sobriety from a politicianwho represents Skye passesme by but it would appear that sincehis departure has resulted in hisparty goingon a binge ofstupidity.Nick Clegg’scoalition withthe Toriesappears tohave giventhe partypoliticaloffice in return for tearing up theirelection manifesto.But now they are becoming moralguardians of the nation over theissue of the UK replacing its ageingnuclear deterrent.The Tories want to replace the currentsystem but the Liberals, whohave been traditionally the mostanti-nuclear weapons party, thinkwe should just reduce our capabilityfrom four boats to three.Somehow I do not see this as a radicalpolicy that will see them rise in thepolls.The point to this is that the UK’s threemajor parties are all barking up thewrong tree as they begin what lookslike being a very long campaign.No-one in the electorate is botheredabout the trade union influence onLabour because that wing of themovement is largely seen as a bit of adamp squib these days. Unfortunately,in my opinion, they are right.No one in their right mind believes thatthe national health service – createdby Labour – would be in safer handswith the Tories.Potential Liberal supporters wouldprobably prefer that we had a coupleof aircraft carriers and more properlyequipped military than a nuclearcapability that could not even deter atinpot dictator in Argentina invadingthe Falklands.Is there a message in this for Bahrain?Well there is in my view.MPs in both countries seem to be moreconcerned about their own agendasthan with what the people want.They seem to be more than a tad deafto the aspirations of the people.What most people want is a decentjob, attractive affordable housing anda good education for their childrenso they can look forward to a betterfuture.But most politicians see providing thatas too much like hard work, which issomething most of them have neverdone.Dreaming of aWhite ChristmasIt would appear that what to us is asweltering summer is getting to people’sbrains in the UK.Folk are already beginning to hum ‘I’mDreaming of a White Christmas’.Or that seems to be what the Churchof England is hoping for.I have always subscribed to the ideathat Christmas should be a seasonthat lasts at most a couple of weeksbut I live with the fact that as a festiveperiod it is the backbone of theUK retail trade and accounts foralmost one-third of sales in extendedcommercial extravaganza.Religion now seems to have taken thison board.In Truro down, Cornwall, a shop hasalready been set up that is sellingnativity sets, decorations and adventcalendars.Leased by Truro Cathedral, it will beopened later by its dean, the VeryReverend Roger Bush.
